    3 reasons why the design team shouldn't visit ENWorld

    Sort of. I'm not talking about limiting our listening to the Paizo.com forums, though. There are a few forums out there that are openly hostile to Paizo and Pathfinder, and I read those about as often as I read EN World, which is to say daily. Also... how long is the grace period supposed to...

    3 reasons why the design team shouldn't visit ENWorld

    Not that it really matters, but every issue of Dragon and Dungeon Paizo ever published was vetted by Wizards of the Coast as part of a formal approval policy complete with sign-offs and everything. I am sure that this is the case with all of their licensed properties, though it is also (of...

    3 reasons why the design team shouldn't visit ENWorld

    I read this when it was making the rounds a few weeks ago, and I've got to say that I completely disagree with this guy. Too many creators are delicate flowers who cannot handle criticism of their material, and thus shut themselves off from all feedback. It takes practice to roll with the...

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    Wow. Way to use Pierce's slang from Community there. If I'd missed it, I would probably be streets behind. --Erik

    Is D&D (WotC) flaming out?

    My memory is that the 3.0 module series was referred to as the Adventure Path in-house at WotC, in marketing talk (interviews and the like), and possibly in Dragon magazine. But I also seem to recall a directive from the brand team that employees were NOT to refer to the series as an "Adventure...

    Borders trouble, could lead to BIG TROUBLE!

    Absolutely. Everyone selling into mass market retailers is doing so on a "returnable" basis. Computerized inventory and razor-thin inventories has meant that distributors and bookstores carry less risk than they did in the TSR days (almost all of that inventory risk is now shouldered by...

    Borders trouble, could lead to BIG TROUBLE!

    We're aware of the situation and monitoring it closely. From what I have heard so far, one side effect of this is that Borders is not flushing inventory into returns as they usually do after the holidays, so they can keep their stores full of books. That ought to offset some of the oomph from a...

    Great Artwork from....He-Man?

    I was just enjoying my new Thundarr complete series DVD this morning. Thanks for posting this link. The entire website was really interesting.

    Pathfinder 1E What's this I hear about a new Pathfinder setting?

    A couple of quick corrections: Ultimate Combat will be our August release. There will be a book about Tian Xia in the winter, but we haven't said how large it will be yet. Carry on. :) --Erik Mona Publisher Paizo Publishing

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    Now that I think about it, running a business, editing an in-game newspaper, and claiming/refurbishing a run-down castle as the party headquarters were all major parts of Monte Cook's Ptolus campaign during the 3e era ("staffed" entirely by WotC designers and alumni), so this wasn't something...

    [WotC's recent insanity] I think I've Figured It Out

    We were always building keeps for our characters and stuff when we were kids. This was a major part of the game for us. Of course, as a DM there was nothing better than using a player's map of his stronghold to plan a vengeful monster invasion. It was great. --Erik

    Best Map of The City of Greyhawk?

    Indeed he does! And Matt, you're not going to find a map with all the street names on it, because such a creature does not exist.

    About the City of Greyhawk...

    (Cross-posted from the other thread about this map.) That map is from the late 3.5-era Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk superadventure that I wrote with James Jacobs and Jason Bulmahn. I specifically wrote the parts that take place in the city itself, and I made sure that the map was based...

    That map is from the late 3.5-era Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk superadventure that I wrote with James Jacobs and Jason Bulmahn.

    Get a role in the new D&D movie!

    Here's the IMDB page for the movie. I don't think I've seen mention about this production before, but it's obviously legit. Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness Directed by Jerry Lively, who did the last D&D movie. This one's also got the same writer as the previous feature, so I...

    First 4E video game to appear 2011.

    What's up with the mix of Forgotten Realms and Nentir Vale continuity? Is the Zhentarim part of the "core" 4e cosmology, now? If so, why the reference to the Forgotten Realms in the announcement? --Erik

    Mona's Musings: The Fall of Cthulhu

    Last week we gathered for the final session of our epic Call of Cthulhu campaign. The game’s been going on for more than 4 years—sometimes only once a year or so—under the command of the Keeper, James Jacobs. We’re running a fairly by-the-book version of Chaosium’s classic Shadows of Yog-Sothoth...
